Application filed February 15,1927. Serial No. 168,340.

This invention relates to cert-ainnew'and useful improvements in shaving compacts, and the primary 'objectthereof is to provide a device ofthis character which compactly houses the various articles; which can be made of glass or pottery orother ware soas to be thoroughly and easily cleaned.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this type which has W means for enabling any Iwater'wh'ic'lrmay be held'by' the brush'after shaving, to be drained from the compact," and to also rovide means of a novel character for ventilating the interior of the container or compact so as to dry 'out the brush or other artieles and thereby preserve a sanitary condition.

I A still further object of the invention is to provide novel means for enabling the various articles to be easily. and quickly removed and placed in the container.

In the drawings r Fig. 1.is a top pl an'view of the compact with the cover removed;

Fig. 213a section on line 2--2 of Fig 1, and

Figs. 3 and 4 are end elevations of Fig. 1 taken from the opposite ends thereof.

In proceeding in accordance with the present invention, a base member 1 is provided which has a bottom 2 and a depending marginal flange-3. As shown in Fig. 2, the bottom 2 has a raised portion 1 which latter on its upper face is formed with a central pocket 5 to receive a package of safety razor blades B. A depressed portion 6 is formed in the raised portion/l andis for the purpose of receiving a styptic pencil P. On the other side of the pocket 5 a substantially T-shaped depression having a head? and a stem 8 is provided, for the purpose of receiving the head and handle of a safety razor R. It will be noted thatthe outer end 9 of the head 7 of the razor receiving depression is open,

not only for the purpose of effecting a saving of material, but to also avoid the presence of a wall or the like subject to easy breakage. A transverse channel '10 bisects-the stem 8 of the safety razor receiving depression and has its end 11 extending into the pocket 5. A 5 similar channel 14 bisects the depression 6 and has an inner end 12 which leads into a seat or receptacle 13 for the shaving brush S. From the foregoing, it will be seen that the channel 10 and its end 11 provide depressed portions in which the thumb and forefinger of the user can be inserted so asto grip the handle of the safety razor and thereby enable the latter'to beeasily and quickly removed from its depression or holding compartment.

Similarly, the channel 1e and the end 11 of the channel 10 act in a corresponding capacforefingerof the user. The end 11 of channel 10 and the channels 12 and 14 are shaped to receive-the thumb in eachinst ance;

The end 12 of channel 14 extends into the holdingbompartme'nt 18 for the shaving brush" "and hence enables the latter to be slid outwardlyfrom its seat. A compartmentle is arranged alongside the compartment 13 and is shaped to receive a tube of shaving cream T. Referring to Figs. 1, 2 and 3, it will be seen that the compartments 13 and 15 have their outer ends opening outwardly and disposed flush with the bottom 2, so that the shavingbrush and the tube of shaving cream can be easily and quickly slid out of their seats.

A cover 16 has a depending rim 17 which fits over the sides 18 and over the ends 19 and 20 of the base. The cover is formed with a handle or knob 21 which projects thereabove and which latter is provided with an opening extending entirely therethrough so as to provide for ventilation of the interior ofthe container.

It will be seen that if any water remains on the brush, same can drain through the .open end of the compartment 13.

The entire structure is preferably made of glass or earthenware or pottery or the like and, as will be evident from the dr'awings, there are no sharp edges or projections or other thin walls which are likely to become easily broken. The compact can be formed of variously colored glass and thus not only present an attractive appearance,

but also enable the base and cover to be Washed or otherwise cleansed so as to present a neat and sanitary appearance at all times.

hat is claimed is 1. In a shaving compact, a base formed with longitudinal depressions to receive a tube of: cream, and a brush, said depressions opening at their outer ends through an end of the base, an inner, an outer and a central transverse depression in the opposite end of the base to receive a stypt-ic pencil, a packa ge of blades and a satet v razor respectively, a pair oi longitudinal channels in the base intersecting each of the transverse channels whereby to form a pair of linger receiving pockets on each side of each of the transverse depressions, the inner ends ot the pair of transverse channels being common to the central transverse depression. said base further having a channel leading from the inner transverse channel into one of the longitudinal depressions. and a cover for the base having a knob formed with an axial ventilatingopening extetniling through the knob and cover.

2, In av shaving: compact, a base tor-med with longitudinal depression -i to receive a tube of cream, and a brush, said depressions opening at their outer ends through an end of the base, an inner, an outer and a central transverse depr ssion in the. opposite end of the base to receive a styptic pencil, a package of blades and a sat'ety razor respectively, a pair of longitudinal channels in the base intersecting each of the transverse channels whereby to form a pair of linger receiving pockets on each side of each of the transverse depressions, the inner ent s of the pair of transverse channels being conunon to the central transverse depression.

3. In a shaving conn iact, a base having long ritudinal depressions ()lilclllllg at one end through the end of the base and having transverse depressions at its opposite end connected by longitudinal channels Which intersect the transverse depressions and form finger-receiving pockets.

l. In a shaving compact, a base having: longitudiiuil depressions opening at one end through the end at the liase and having a, trainiversc depressions at its opposite end connected by lonpgitiulinalv channe which ii'rterscct the transverse depressions and form linger-receiving poelmts and a cover for the base having a knob termed with an axial ventilating opening extending through the knob and cover.

A shaving compact including a base having; article receiving depressions arranged in side b v side relation, and having channels extending t *aninan'acljv of the depress alone and intersecting and projecting beyond each of the sides of the latter whereby to atlord a pair 0 1'? linger poclnits on each side of each depression.

6. A shavii'ig' compact including a base having article receivii'igr seats, and a cover for the base having a hand knob formed. with an axial opening; extelnling through the lznob and cover to atiord an air passage cticctinp ventilation o t the base.

In testimony whereof I alliz; my signature.
